Lamnin Leapfrogs Peixoto to Top Hayward Council Race; Both Win Seats

Sara Lamnin

HAYWARD | CITY COUNCIL | Community leader Sara Lamnin is now the top vote-getter in Hayward’s City Council election after an update by the Alameda County registrar. Two spots on the council were available to the top two finishers. Lamnin, though, had trailed Councilmember Marvin Peixoto for the top spot since the June 3 election.

Both candidates will be sworn-in in coming weeks, but Lamnin’s victory could be symbolic after being one of two labor-endorsed candidates who protested the current City Council’s rigid stance earlier this year toward city employees.

Lamnin’s lead is 116 votes and likely to stand since the Alameda County Registrar of Voters said Wednesday it has counted all its ballots. Incidentally, Lamnin’s 4,895 votes is just 2 fewer than the winner of Hayward’s mayoral race, Councilmember Barbara Halliday.

The new City Council will also be short one member after Councilmember Mark Salinas lost his bid for mayor while not seeking re-election to this council seat. Among the potential candidates for appointment to Halliday’s last two years of her council term is Rocky Fernandez and Julie McKillop, both candidates from this June 3; Hayward Planning Commissioner Elisa Marquez; in addition, to Salinas.City Council – Pick 2…………………VOTES….PCTPrecincts reporting 100%Sara Lamnin…………………………..4895..22.40%Marvin Peixoto (I)…………………….4779..21.87%Rocky Fernandez……………………….4226..19.34%Julie McKillop………………………..3546..16.23%Rodney Loche………………………….2459..11.21%Ralph Farias, Jr………………………1083.. 4.96%Phillip Gallegos……………………….774.. 3.54%Write-in……………………………….95.. 0.43%Mayor……………………………….VOTES….PCTPrecincts reporting 100%Barbara Halliday………………………4897..37.90%Mark Salinas………………………….4162..32.21%Francisco Zermeno……………………..2942..22.77%Rakesh Kumar Christian………………….871…6.74%Write-in……………………………….49…0.38%

The Space HO has a real fixation with this Ralph guy. Guess it's her way of consoling her fat ass self since all she can claim as a victory is the Lamnin bitch–who had to run like forever before folks pulled the lever for her by mistake.

Whorbett, down and out for good. Fernandez? Hey, third place still gets you down and out. An inch is as good as ten miles.

Hayward has spoken: Mayor Barb Halliday and Councilman Marv Piexoto. Two who will tell the union whores that their days of picking our pockets are over.

Since I still have some space:

All the illegals have got to be mass deported ahora mismo–that means right now! Absolutamente, bitch!

Piexoto was also supported by unions. Union supported candidates came in one, two and three. They sent the message they wanted. In the Mayors race there was no choice, except they definitely didn't want Salinas. Most of the ones I talked to, voted for Halliday, as they felt she was the most progressive and sympathetic to their plight.

In the rest of the county and state Labor and the Democratic party kicked ass and were successful in almost all their efforts. I'm sure they are very happy with a 95+% success rate. Once again anti-union and tea baggers go down in flames. Thank you Hayward, Bay Area and State of California voters. The November election will find the same high success rate and the above poster knows it.

Do you really believe the stuff that you're scribbling? Are you that brain dead? Whatever.

Nice try, but labor BEGGED for Salinas and they came up way short. The only one they wanted was Lamnin. Marv is the people's choice for saving our taxpayer $$$. If the unions want to fall in line and join us–something we seriously doubt–fine. Othewise they will get crushed again.

The only brain dead one is the antiunion poster at 8:52. Since you came in 6th with less than 5% of the vote Mr. Farias, in your 3rd try, you should know Hayward hates you by now.

Salinas was the one attacking the unions the most, up until the very end. He was targeted for defeat because Barbara reached out to them and tried to make nice. I know many union members in Hayward who voted for her as the better of the two. Maybe if you talked to more voters you might learn something.

Hey, gang, just got an update from Ellen, who asked me to share with all:

For those asking about my future plans, I have decided to accept an offer from Platinum Advisors in Sacramento. I'll be whoring for the unions; this is a natural fit for me since it's what I would have done had a miracle happened and I actually won the election. That was NEVER going to happen. I'm also going to accept Congressman Swalwell's generous offer to do an internship in his district office. This is about as close to congress as I will ever get. From what I understand one of my responsibilities will be baking cookies. The staffers work so very hard and deserve home-baked treats. Anyone know of any good cookbooks? I really need to bone up. That's the latest for now. I'll keep you updated from time to time via Wendi Bain.

This story is about Sara Lamnin and how she came in first in the Hayward race. You can try and change the topic and keep lying if you want Mr. Farias, because every time you do, it means you will turn off more Hayward voters. Run again in 2016 and you might get 2% of the vote.
